I'd go for b) v squared.
Wind is air in motion. So, it has kinetic energy. For a given mass of air at a certain speed, the kinetic energy would be (1/2)mv^2.
Since everything else in the chain seems to be proportional, then it's the v^2 bit that seems to be important. Hence the answer I post here.

Of the three primary forms of subaerial volcanoes, ________ are large cone-shaped mountains that consist of alternating layers o
Alborosie

Answer:

Strato-volcano

Explanation:

Strato-volcanoes are usually characterized by the presence of steep-sided slopes, with distinct craters, and are frequently erupted and conical in appearance. This type of volcano is generally felsic in nature. Due to the presence of high silica content, the magma being highly viscous, moves at a relatively slower rate. These are highly explosive and produce a large number of pyroclastic materials, lava flow, volcanic ashes, and gases.

They are also commonly considered as the composite volcano, and are comprised of alternating tephra and solidified lava layers.

The speed of sound in air is 320 ms-1 and in water it is 1600 ms-1. It takes 2.5 s for sound to reach a certain distance from th
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound in air = 320 m/s

Speed of sound in water = 1600 m/s

Time taken to reach certain distance in air = 2.5 sec

a.

We have to find the distance traveled by sound in air.

Distance = Product of speed and time.

⇒ Distance = Speed\times time\ taken

⇒ Distance = 320\times 2.5

⇒ Distance = 800 meters.

b.

Now we have to find how much time the sound will take to travel in water.

⇒ Time = Ratio of distance and speed

⇒ Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

⇒ Time =\frac{800}{1600}   <em>   ...distance = 800 m and speed = 1600 m/s</em>

⇒ Time =\frac{1}{2}

⇒ Time =0.5 seconds.

Distance covered by the sound in air is 800 meter and the time taken by the sound in water for the same distance is 0.5 seconds.
